Nobody knows his name, yet every body In Kennewick, Wa»h„ la acquaint ed with him. "Irish Tim" Is the name by which he answers when asked to have a drink: but there are few bar tenders in Kennewick who will now consent to serve him unless a chain Is first fastened to the glas.s for Tim has a penchant for eating such delica cies as beer bottles, tumblers and other glassy receptacles In which the In ebriating beverages are dispensed. Tim is a stalwart fellow, and a veri table giant, 6 feet 5 inches tall, heavy In proportion, with great, broaa. pow erful shoulders that look as though they could furnish a force sufficient to put several Jim Jeffries out of busi ness without the least exertion. Tim only wears a No. 14 shoe, spe cially made to order, and has a hand big enough to cover an ordinary saucer. Ho Is perhaps the strongest man In the West outnlde of n circus, and he at tributes his marvelous strength to the fact that he has eaten glass ever since a small boy In Ireland. When Irish Tim made his appearance In Kennewick he caused the natives to Imagine suddenly that they had all gone crazy, and were "seeln’ things." The first extraordinary thing the big fellow did was to go Into a grocery store and purchase a half dozen glass tumblers. Then he strolled leisurely out to the curb of the plank sidewalk, sat down, opened up the bundle, and proceeded to devour the glasses much as a schoolboy devours his noonday lunch. A good-sized crowd had soon accumulated, and, of course, everybody thought nt first that he was working off a little of Hermann legerdemain. But Tim sat .there as Indifferent to their gaze and crltclsms as an as tronomer to the maneuvers of an ant colony. When he had devoured the last of the six tumblers he arose slow ly, .smacked his lips, looked around to see that he had left no scraps and sauntered Into a nearby saloon In search of a "chaser." Of course, the Ivirtender wouldn’t accept payment from a man who could draw such a large crowd an Tiin had done, so the big fellow got his drink for nothing. But when the fellow behind the bar cast his eye around for the whisky gloss, it hsd followed the chaser. Tim was cracking up the last bit of It be tween his teeth, and swallowing It In morsels that were evidently sweet. "That's the kind of glass.” said Tim. "that makes me think of home. Over 1 In the grocery store, there, all they had . was them big tumblers. Sure, and they're a bit hard on your gums. but. ' then. I’ve eaten so much glass that 1 : seldom cut myself.” he ad<Ve«l. smiling.! "You see, I started In when I was Just 1 a sprawlin’ brat over In the old coun- j try. I used to stool my mother’s Jelly ; and Jam, and then eat up the glasses to make her think somebody had stolen the whole business. "Yes, 1 guess that's the way I got the habit. I recollect, when a kid, one o’ the boys bet me a piece of money I couldn't eat a chunk o' glass, so I bet him on It. 1 ate a very small piece, and chewed It up carefully. Glass Is not hard stuff, und Is easily ground between the teeth If one Is not afraid of It. Well, I won that bet. anyway, and for twenty-four hours awaited the results anxiously. Htrange as It may sound to some of you fellows, I had a ravenous appetite the next day, and Here are pictures of Paul O. Stensland (on left), president of the wrecked Milwaukee Avenue State Bartk.
